Hi, everybody.
Americans have been fighting for the idea that health care is a right not a privilege since the second-to-last time the Cubs won the World Series.
I'm not talking about the 2016 Cubs — I'm talking about the 1908 Cubs. That's a really long time. And thanks to the efforts of so many of you, we did it.
Today, 20 million more American adults know the financial security of health insurance. On top of that, another three million more kids have coverage than when I took office. In fact, never in American history has the uninsured rate been lower than it is right now and health care prices have been rising slower than they have in 50 years.
If you haven't gotten covered yet, now's the time to do it. It's open enrollment season. That means you can go to HealthCare.gov and shop for insurance plans in a marketplace where insurers compete for your business. HealthCare.gov is faster and easier to use than ever before. With a few clicks, you can start comparing plans to see which one is right for you and your family.
